The Soweto giants, who recently brought in Bafana Bafana winger Elias Mokwana on a free transfer, have seen their name linked with several players in recent months — among them former Al Ahly winger Percy Tau. Now, club legend Brian Baloyi has thrown his weight behind the idea, calling on his former team to secure the services of the 32-year-old attacker.

Speaking to SoccerBeat last month, Baloyi made his feelings clear: with January on the horizon, the question is whether Kaizer Chiefs will venture into the market — and in his view, they should. He acknowledged that only time will reveal their intentions, but pointed out that a wealth of talent is currently up for grabs, even naming three players he believes could add real value to the club.

Baloyi went on to single out Percy Tau, insisting the attacker is still available and has plenty left to offer the game. In his view, Chiefs are crying out for a player of Tau's calibre — someone who has won it all — and his arrival would lift the dressing room through his attitude, talent and professionalism. The former goalkeeper believes that experience at the highest level could be especially valuable for a Chiefs squad with silverware on their minds.

He also floated Thembinkosi Lorch as another possible target in the upcoming window, with the seasoned winger having struggled for success in Libya of late and rumours swirling that he could be on his way out in January. Whether Amakhosi actually move for more experienced reinforcements, though, remains to be seen.
